Public Health

Public Health refers to the science and practice of protecting and improving the health of communities and populations. It encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized efforts and informed choices. The field of public health focuses on the collective aspects of health, addressing issues such as disease outbreaks, environmental health, health policy, nutrition, and access to healthcare. It involves the assessment of health needs, the development of policies and programs, and the implementation of interventions to reduce health disparities and improve overall community well-being. Public health is characterized by its emphasis on preventive care and the health of entire populations rather than individual patients.
